Wake County Public Health and Wake County Environmental Services are actively investigating the norovirus outbreak at Sushi Nine. The restaurant closed for two days for thorough cleaning, and health officials are collaborating with customers, staff, and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) to identify the outbreak’s source and extent.
